places will make exhibits. Thcf'ol-liosCarnivhlCompany
and other ami> le-nient
concerns have been engaged to

each of the four days of the fair. The
horse racing will be as exciting and in-teresting
as was over seen on a North

been offered and some of the beet horses
on the turf will be here.
The following in the program for ihe
four days:
The fair will be formally opened » ith

After the death of Mrs. Williams she
remained with the family of Mr. Wil
liam Streeter for four years, going
from there to the home of a Mr Lewis,
near Hillsdale. Tho girl said she was
treated so badly at the latter place that
she went to Mr. Dillard Moore's.where
ahe remained but a short while. About
ten dtys ago, according to har story,
Mr. Moore sent her away from his
home and turned her adrift iu the
world. She was left near the residence
of Mrs Pleasant McAdoo, who brought
her to Chief Soott.
Nothing whatever is known of the
girl or her previous history, save what
WHS learned from her story. Chief
Scott carried her to a boarding house
and had her oared for for a day or two,
when she waa sent to the county home.
Several people have offered to provide
a home for the orphan, but for the
present she will be allowed to remain
at the eoust* home.
The orphan is a stout, healthy girl,
apparently sixteen or seventeen years
old.
